German Christmas

We arrived yesterday with no problems. The flight was very civilized, as Markus put it. We had an extra seat the whole way, and went through customs in Iceland. We got a sneak peak at the airport. I saw Greenland on the flight over, floating icebergs...the air was so clear. I also saw a lighthouse off the coast of Greenland. Markus spotted a wind farm off the coast of Holland. We got some pictures from the plane. There was about a hundred wind turbines in the water, some not completed yet.

We went to the Christmas market last night. I had a bratwurst and my fill of Gluhwein. It was perfect. Micheal and Barbara went out with us, and we were all jolly and happy. We watched some punkish bagpipe players in the Renaissance part of the market.

Now, I am about to start the marathon of family and eating that is called Christmas here. We will start with church today and singing.

First though, we must go shopping. Markus wants to check out the final shopping hours before the stores close for the next 3 days. They are only open until noon today.

Merry Christmas everyone. Wish I could be in two places at once, with both my families.
